Carney calls for Mountbatten-Windsor's removal from line of succession
Prime Minister Carney insists removal is required despite Mountbatten-Windsor being eighth in line and released without charges, highlighting principle over position.
- On March 7, 2026, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney urged removal of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the royal succession, calling his actions `deplorable` and saying they `necessitate` removal.
- Following disclosures tied to Jeffrey Epstein, authorities arrested Mountbatten-Windsor last month on suspicion of misconduct in public office; he was released around 11 hours without charges and remains under investigation.
- Despite being stripped in October, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor remains eighth in line while King Charles III's son Prince William is heir, followed by Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
- Carney urged that the formal line of succession removal process be followed, noting King Charles III is head of state in Canada, making the issue relevant to Commonwealth realms.
- Carney said that although Mountbatten-Windsor is `well down` the line, the `point of principle stands`; an April 20, 2025 photo shows him at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
